On September 16th, 2009, FHFA and the FDIC cohosted a symposium on “Improving Assessment of the Default Risk of Single-Family Mortgages.” The research papers presented at the event were selected from submissions received in response to a Call for Papers issued in the spring. That Call for Papers can be downloaded here. Housing and mortgage market experts from industry, academia, and government attended the event, which was held at the FDIC's Seidman Center.
The symposium agenda included sessions on: Collateral and Appraisal Issues, Underwriting Standards, and Issues in Default Modeling. The papers presented during these sessions are downloadable below. Short presentations reflecting developments in vendor models were also given. Those presentations may become downloadable at a later date.
